  1. My first guess would be an aspect ratio issue, according to the libretro docs for it the games should be running at 4:3. Your screenshot looks like its stretching the pixels.

    I've heard Launchbox doesn't play as nicely with Intel as it does with AMD chipsets. Any truth to this?

    Don't know where you heard this but I have never heard anything of the sort.
    While I can't recommend anything specific as to what to buy but if I were buying I would try and get the fastest modern CPU and a dedicated GPU (no on board video) that fit within my budget. The GPU will help Launchbox / BigBox and if you wanted to use shaders or uprezzing of 3D games quite a lot.

  3. The same solutions that applied back then would apply now.
    Make sure you are using the same core in LB as you are in RA on it's own.
    Make sure you imported the cue files into LB, not the bin files. Double check the games in LB that its pointing at a cue file.
    Make sure that when you imported your games you told LB to leave your game files where they were instead of copying or moving them.

    Are the logos and videos the only optional?

    For the default theme yeah I believe so.

    but if I chose all the qualities, would it only download the highest quality available?

    Yeah, if you choose all the qualities LB will start with the best quality videos and move down to the lower tiers if no video is found at the higher quality level.

    If you set it to download box front and back (flyer for arcade since they didn't have boxes), clear logos, gameplay screenshots videos that will give you everything you need. All the other media options are fluff and not going to be used by the default theme though fan art may be used for back grounds but my personal opinion on those is that they are a waste of drive space (some are huge) and the quality of them can vary greatly.

    On the flip side, there is the option to let LaunchBox actually delete the ROM files from disk when you delete a game in your instance. This can be useful if you want to do your curation in LaunchBox, and then also let it tidy up the ROMs for you.

    This is a feature to be used with great care however. Using it with Mame can break rom sets and using it with multi file games such as cue + bin disc images will delete only the cue file that got imported and not the bin or multiple bins that go along with the disc image.

    Any advices or things I should be aware of when doing so?

    Nothing I can think of here, You can have multiple installs of Launchbox and keep em separate all you want. I have 2 setups on my secondary PC, one with all the systems and full rom sets and another one streamlined down to the systems and games that are actually worth playing.

  7. Look in the Launchbox\Updates folder, you should see some installers in there including the latest one. Run that and install over top of your current install but just pay attention to the install location. If your install is D:\Emulation\Launchbox for example make sure the install location is set to D:\Emulation.

  8. I would suggest renaming the platform to something like Neo Geo and then adding the platform Neo Geo to the associated platforms list.

    When you import your games you can manually type in your own platform name if there isn't an appropriate one in the drop down menu. Plus you can manually add a platform to the associated platforms list by double clicking on the empty entry at the bottom of the list.

    One other thing to remember since you are using a French language system make sure that none of the folders of your rom path have any accented characters in them. I don't know if you do or don't have this since I cannot see but it is something to keep in mind.

  9. No bezels for me.
    I have had this discussion in discord more than a few times over the years and for me I find them distracting. There have been times when using bezels and this is more of an issue when playing shooters when I think I see a bullet or ship coming from the edge of the screen so I react and try to dodge where I think it's going and end up moving into a worse spot.
